Reasons To Buy A Hybrid Car

You're probably hearing a lot about hybrid cars these days. They are definitely being discussed everywhere. Hardly a day goes by that a major newspaper or television network isn't doing a feature story on hybrids. And everyday it seems like one car manufacturer or another is introducing a new hybrid vehicle.

So what's all the buzz about?

Well, hybrids are a new type of vehicle that runs on electricity (from a battery) and gasoline.

Now, that's a novel idea isn't it?

Hybrids are picking up steam (sounds like a pun doesn't it?) everywhere, including the world's most a car lovin' city ? Los Angeles ? where many of the top stars are hybrid owners.

In the "City of the Angels" you'll see environmentally forward thinking celebrities, like Bill Maher, Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and "Seinfeld" co-creator and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator and star, Larry David behind the wheel of their hybrids.

You might also see the lovely Cameron Diaz cruisin' the Hollywood Hills in her hybrid.And when Leonardo Di Caprio really wants to feel like "the king of the world," guess what he'll be driving? You did guess a hybrid, didn't you?

If you're looking to get higher performance, consider a hybrid.

3.Hybrids can save you money in a multitude of ways. While the typical hybrid is about $3000 more than a typical car, this cost differential will narrow as auto manufacturers produce more hybrid cars in the future. The hybrid savings come in the form of state and federal incentives, reduced maintenance costs, and of course, lower fuel costs.
